BY NEPTUNE.

Mr.. EDIToR:-Times change and
we change in them. This fact is
set forth IN midnoon splendor in
the history of Bunker Hill whose
once degradation and present high
standing l shall briefly mention
simply to show that whisky Is the
greatest enemy to morals and pro
hibition the greatest blessing.
About ten years ago when the devil
had his sign posts stuck up all over
this rural district of the state
of Tennessee, there were a
couple at Bunker Hill, or Bull
Killer as we called it-as it wac
the mastering ground for all who
wished to learn all the points and
maglyphies connected with "a regu-
lar old pioneer, rawhead, bloody
bone fight. ] do not mean by any
means that the place was peopled
with this class altogether, for there
were great many highly respected
citizens, but that revebue-resource
and privilege giving stuff hlighteG
morals, bled men, grieved wives
and children, sileneed the gospel,
deiea EDUCATION, dethroned reason
and caused neighbor to fall GU
with neighbor. But alas, the nigh

given a tail which they were to at

SAM JONES' SAYINGS.

Rev. Sam Jones spoke in Chatta
nooga on Saturday night. We give
below some extracts from his
speech:
A man can beat his wife just as
we'll on high license as on low IL
cense liquor.
There are not enough men on
earth nor devils in hell to hush me
when I feel / am right
want somebody to tell me how
I'm to make the fur fly if there
amt somebody furnishing the fur.
l am a prohibitionist, concentra-
ted, consolidated, stand up to he
knocked down for time and eter-
nifty.
Prohibition is a plea for purer
land, for our heart broken women
and destitute oaphans; it is a plea
for God and our naJive land.
A man that will preach one way
and vote the other is either by
pocritc or a fool. I'd rather be a
hypocrite than q fool, because you
can straighten out 4 hypocrite but
you can't fool!
want to tell you folks that if
you don't pass this prohibition
amendment and quit pouring your
damnable whisky into Atlanta,
Atlanta is going to pour its damna
BILE whisky business into Chatta
nooga.
l can beat up a crowd around th
bar rooms that the devil wouldn s
let in more than one at a time.
Why, if they were all in hell, in less
than a month they'd cut off the
devils head and run hell them
selves. The devil is a rascal but
he's no fool.
Some people say God made whis
ky. God didn't. God didn't make
anything that whisky can be made
out of until it rots and becomes so
mean that hog won't eat it. God
made the juicy pea ch, but it can't
be made into brandy until it is SO
rotten that no animal would eat it.

the weapon of the four mile law
grappleii and conquered! The dire
clouds of moral wreck and ruin
having disappeared, there was a
Gampheliite church erected, the
gospel was preached, the people
heard the word and received it, and
now the voting population of Bun
ker Hill are preaching prohibition
in toto. A spacious building for
education was erected there last
year and now there is one Of the
most ffourishing schools in the
county governed by the highly elli-
cient j. 7. HobsoD.
An entertainment was given by
the school the night of the Sd inst,
and | must say it was the grandest
success | ever saw. The people
there should feel proud of the
school and work for its support.
Would be pleased to call the at

heed our cries for new district

Of reasons why we should have it
we will hencefourth and forever
be silent. Three districts corner
here, the Sth, 1lth and Goth, and
there are enough children in reach
to afford a school of seventy-fve
regular pupils, and as the school
here has been furnished with pupils
from the above mentioned districts
1t has been a source of great an
noyance to the school directors in
making their settlements. The
voting precincts of each of the
above mentioned are not less than
four, five and six miles from us,
consequently We never, as there are
great many voters who have to
walk, poll more than go per cent. of
democracy except in cases of ex-
IRENE excitement, while the repub-
licans come up solid owing to good
organization. The above mention
ed districts are large and you could
cut off some 40 or SO votes from
these districts and also corner of
the 10th and give as o good sized
district and a handy voting place
and still not leave the districts from
which they are taken in i'll shape

you to consider our case.

Observation-Disclosures
A FATAL MISTAKE.

The Cleueland (Ohio) Press,
of February Odd, 1888, pub
hshed an account of a fatal
surgical operation which caused
great connection among med
lcal men throughout the whole
country, DIR. Thayer, the most
eminent surgeon in Cleveland,
pronouncing it scandalous. 1t
appears that 4 Mrs. King had
been suffering for many years
from some disease of the stom-
a'ch, which had resisted the
treatment of all the physicians
in attendance. The disease
commenced with a slight de-
rangement of the digestion,
with poor appetite, followed
by peculiar indescribable dis
tress in the stomach, a feeling
that has been described as a
faint call gone" sensation, a
sticky slime collecting about
the teeth, causing a disagree
able taste. This sensation was
not removed by food, but, on
the contrary, it was increased.
After a while the hands and
feet became cold and sticky
a cold perspiration. There
was a constant tired and Ian
guild feeling. Then followed a
dreadful nervousness, with
gloomy forebodings. Finally
the patient was unable to re-
tain any food whatever, and
there was constant pain in the
abdomen, AL prescribed rem
edies failing to give relief, a
consultation was held, when it
was decided that the patient
had a cancer in the stomach,
and in order tosaye thepatient's
life an operation was justifi-
able. Accordingly, on the 22d
of February, 1883, the opera
ton was performed by DR..
Vance in the presence of DR..
Tuckerman, DIR. Perrier, DR..
Arms, DR.. Gordon, DR.. Capner,
and DR.. Halliwel of the Police
Board. The operation consist
ed in laying open the cavity.
of the abdomen and exposing
the stomach and bowels. When
this had been done an examin-
alton Of the organs was made,
but to the horror and dismay
of the doctors there was no
cancer to be found. Tie pa.
tent did not have a cancer.
When toe late the medical men
discovered that they had made
a terrible mistake; but they
sewed the parts together and
dressed the wound that they
had made, but the poor woman
sank from exhaustion and died
in a few hours. How sad it
must be for the husband Of this
poor woman to know that his
wife died from the effects of a
surgical operation that ought
never to have been performed.
If this woman had taken the
proper remedy for Dyspepsia
and Nervous Prostitution flor
this was what the disease really
wasl, she would have been hv-
ing to-day. SHAKER EXTRACT OF
RooTs, or SEIGEL's CURATIVE
SYRUP, a remedy made ex-.
pressly for Dyspepsia OF Indi-
gestion, has restored many such
cases to perfect health after all
other kinds of treatment have
failed. The evidence of its.
efficacy in curing this class of
cases is too voluminous to bei
published here; but those who
read the published evidence in
favor of this dyspeptic remedy
do not question its convincing,
nature, and the article has an
extensive sale, ',-,xllss-'e ,s-E |
